Peace Out Perennials - Stampin' Up! Pretty Perennials - The Paper Players 545

 The start of this week has me saying good-bye to one of my favorite mini catalog stamp sets for the newest Paper Players challenge.  The Pretty Perennials set is retiring soon and I'm sad that it didn't make the new annual catalog.  I thought it had a different enough look that it would make the cut but I was wrong.  So I'm trying to use it a few more times before I have to say good-bye for good.  

  This week Claire has given us a fantastic color combination; Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and Black.  Awesome colors right?  I had no problem using them with this stamp set and I paired it up with the Freshly Made Sketches layout.


  And here is my card:

    I hope you'll be able to join in on the fun with these colors and share your creation in our gallery!  For more stamping inspiration you can see the design team blogs here:

  8. I will miss this set too Amanda and also thought how great these flowers would look with this week's colours - we were definitely creatively twinning this week! No surprise therefore that I love this card; those bold colours pop against the white panel and I love the DSP border too. Beautiful!
